Hot Chocolate - sold

Well this cup DID have hot chocolate in it.

This is part of my series of exploration of complementary colors - today the orange and blue/purple colors, and yellow/purplish. The previous painting of the Red Cup was an exploration of a warm red and teal/turquoise. This exploration of complements is in reference to the Munsell Color Wheel.

About Me

My visual diary. I love doing small daily oil paintings. They have an immediate freshness about them. Whatever you are thinking about that day goes into them, almost like a visual diary. About oil paint - I love the creamy color and intense luscious look of oil paint, making brushstrokes that bring out that quality in the paint. I try new ideas, colors, and subject matter. It is very freeing to be able to paint something and get it out very quickly.

I have studied with several well known instructors including David Leffel, Tony Ryder, Kenn Backhaus, Randal Sexton among others. I continue to be influenced by the five years I spent living and working in Mexico and South America. I visited sites around Mexico City such as the Museo de Bellas Artes to see the work of famous muralists, such as José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, and David Alfaro Siqueiros and study their work. I am now influenced by my current home in the beautiful Pacific Northwest for the past 18 years.

You can find my larger paintings at The Columbia Center for the Arts and Northwest By Northwest Gallery in Cannon Beach OR.
